Most of these were shot with me simply placing the camera lens against the windshield and against the driver's window while driving. I was 100% relying on auto-focus and auto exposure. No, I wasn't looking through the lens while driving.

Some more landscapes along I70. The camera does not do justice to the size of things out here.

This is from RT191 on the way into Moab. Note the 80 Series in front of me.

This one was pretty cool too. I was approaching the Colorado border and there was a massive storm in the distance. In the pic it looks like it's right on top of me, but it was 100 miles away.
Beautiful, Jon! I used to drive that route to and from college (MN<->CA), and have some of those same scenes seared into my memory. Drive safe and have a blast at Moab.

Nice.
Gorgeous! I'm torn between wanting to be there in my 80 or blasting down those roads in a Ferrari. 
WHAT?! No pics of the flooded fields of IN? Or the rain on the windshield? Dude, you left out the whole other half of your 
experience!
J/K dude...nice pics. Enjoy your trip!

I had the most awesome pleasure of getting wheel with Jon and he is one of the nicest guys I have ever met, and a heck of a driver too!
This was his first Cruise Moab, and was my 12th time, and I always get a special pleasure from turning people on to our little event for their first time!

Jon stopped off in Denver for a quick visit and dinner with us last night and his excitement with the Cruise Moab experience was palpable. Thanks for dinner Jon and sharing your memories of a great trip! We look forward to seeing more of his pics.
Cool - Steve Crase = Crash = Overhanger!
wait until he posts pics of the hell ;p
Hell's Revenge, that is
Yeah he told me about it. Sounded like fun! That was a pre-run IIRC, right?
Jon - did you get any pictures of my air-conditioned crankcase when you stopped by?
Explanation for those who haven't heard: I had a little engine problem on I-70 on the way home
correct - on Wednesday, mostly Copper State Cruisers - picked up Jon while waiting for tech at Slickrock

I was hanging around camp and Claudia adopted me into the run. It was a good introduction to slickrock wheeling. I'm pretty used to putting my truck in stupid positions, but at one point I was looking down on this Matchbox size person who was spotting me and leaned out the window with a, "Are you f*cking kidding me?" It was way cool.
As far as the hole in your block, I took a quick peek inside the engine bay, saw that you were surrounded by 6 or so others that stopped. I said, "This isn't a trailside repair, I'm going to Jersey".
I assumed you got a flatbed home and are probably almost done swapping in the spare 2F.
In any case it was a pleasure to meet you and all the others over the few days I was there. If you're ever back east, you have a place to stay.
